Presently Corkerdale, who had been whispering to Manners, turned to me. It's all very well, and I've no doubt very natural, for you to he a lilt huffish, Mr. Ilolt, he said, half half npologetieally. Youre sweet on the young lady, as anybody with half an eye can see, and" "Leave the young lady's name out of the question. If you please!" I exclaimed. "And mine, too!" Bit difficult to leave her out. Isnt it? he retorted, smiling. "After what weve just heard! I dont disbelieve her tale not I! though Im more than a bit surprised that a young woman of her Intelligence clever girl! should let herself be trapped in that fashion. Trapped she was, no doubt ! but I dont believe her mother was trapped I What?" I exclaimed. "Why, youve Just heard" Ive Just heard what weve all Just heard." he Interrupted. My opinion Is Job between that It was all a put-uMrs. Elphlnstone and this woman Murdoch, and that Miss Merchison's been taken in by both. I think that Mrs. Elphlnstone went willingly to that house and stood the detention there she wanted for nothing. You heard! so that her daughter, who was beginning to know too much and to get dangerous, should be kept safe and quiet while the Murdoch woman got right away And Ill lay all Im worth to a'penn.v piece that Murdoch knocked that chap Bownas on the head in that back alley, and that by now site's p ! somewhere ! dont think that Mrs. knew anything about Bownas!

And we're not going out of this hotel until that doctor comes back, and then we re going to see if Mrs. Eiphinstone isn't fit to be questioned. And if she isn't Just yet then were going to siay on the premises till she You Is! So I rbw felphin-ston- e there!" Before I could say anything the outer door opened and Maythorne stuck half his face inside the room. Holt!" he said. I went to him ; he drew me Into the con dor and closed the door.

We got out of the cab at the corner of York road and walked quickly toward the big station.

The only thing Is, If this woman Is the woman we think Murdoch who can recognize her, positively?" Mr, Holt can," answered Maythorne. Cottlngley regarded me with speculative eyes I fear I was not of any great account in Ills opinion. "Knows her?" he asked. "I know her! I answered. Without another word he tumed on his heel toward the front of the station. Whatll be done is this," he said, The Southampwalking between us. ton train leaves Number Four platform ten oclock precisely.

Is there any fear of her knowing either of you?" The strong presumption," replied Is that she'll know us Maythorne, both." Very well, said Cottingley. Then, tills Is what we do. I've already, with the detectives, given the tip to the railway authorities that there may be an important arrest, d'ye see? Now, Im going to post you two just within the barrier, where you cant be seen. You'll keep there till the passengers begin coming through for the train. I shall be close by the detectivesll be a yard of two further on, in touch with me; therell also be two or three railway police about, in case theres any bother. Now if Mr. Holt there recognizes this Murdoch woman, hell signal to me by lifting his hat the instant she passes him and you can leave the rest The only other thing Is that if we make the arrest, Ive arranged with the station people that the detectives are to hurry her off to a little office on the platform you follow."

A second later she and her compnnion, each valise, had carrying a substantial-sizepussed the ticket puncher and come full Into the light.

The two women were being hurried into a third-clas- s compnrtment by an already impatient guard as the two detectives, some railway policemen, Cottingley, and Maythorne and I closed round them.

Weve got em ! they're safe under lock nnd key." Shelia uttered a sharp cry of surprise, and Corkerdale turned quickly on Muytliorne. "Got em?" he exclaimed. "Whos got 'em?" Well, If you want to know, my clerk, Cottingley smartest man In Europe at your game! he got 'em. With the help of your own peojde, to he sure. But the kudos Is Cottlng-leyreplied Muytliorne. "Top-hols, e capture!" And who'd he capture?" demnnded almost Incredulously. Corkerdale, Who?" Maythorne glanced at Sheila. "Well," he replied, theres no secret about It now. Two women! Alison And Murdoch and Mrs. Musgrave. there's no doubt about it, either they had property belonging to Mazaroff and property belonging to Bownas on them actually on them !" Corkerdale turned to Manners, who, at the mention of Mrs. Musgrave's name, had opened his mouth and his eyes to their widest extent. said Corkerdale. la Oh, well! that case, of course, I think we neednt wait to see Mrs. Eiphinstone! It was some days before I myself saw Mrs. Elphlnstone. At last I was admitted to see her. We exchanged a few conventional remarks about her state of health. Then she sat for some time In silence, steadily staring at me staring so steadily that I began to feel desperately uncomfortable. Suddenly she spoke. "I suppose, she said, "I suppose that you and Sheila will became engaged eventually? I thought, then, that I had better speak. The fact is, maam." I replied, "the fact er Is that Sheila and I are engaged already !
